Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (and Us) on Conan

As you may know,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently descended on The Culture Blog to write about why he thinks Django Unchained, despite his enjoyment of it, doesn't deserve the Best Picture Oscar. The post prompted Conan O'Brien to bring the basketball star on his show last night to review a few other things: Silver Linings Playbook, The Mona Lisa, whole-grain Fig Newtons. We particularly like his review of Jennifer Lawrence: "shines as a widow who turns into a tramp, but then stops being a tramp." Abdul-Jabbar's career as a cultural critic is officially ascendant.
